Speaking from his hotel room at the nation\u2019s capital on Wednesday, Democrat Rep. Ron Reynolds (Texas) said Gov. Greg Abbott\u2019s (R-Texas) so-called extreme measures have turned him into a fugitive.<\/p>\n<p>Reynolds then doubled down on his effort to keep stirring up what he described as \u201cgood trouble.\u201d&nbsp;Despite delaying the passage of COVID relief measures by camping out in his D.C. hotel room, Reynolds wrapped up the rocky interview by fearmongering about COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, state Rep. Jim Murphy (R) said if a couple Democrats show up to the special session, residents could get resources for COVID-19 vaccinations and hospitals could receive more funding to help patients \u201calmost immediately.\u201d Although, it appears that the Democrats have different priorities.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today the Texas Senate PASSED agenda items for the second special session:<\/p>\n<p>\u27a1\ufe0f Benefits for retired teachers<br \/>\u27a1\ufe0f Bail reform<br \/>\u27a1\ufe0f Property tax relief<br \/>\u27a1\ufe0f Primary elections<\/p>\n<p>House Dems must get back to work &amp; pass these &amp; other items that Texans demand &amp; deserve.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/txlege?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#txlege<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GregAbbott_TX\/status\/1424819595471474693?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 9, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/mike-lindells-cyber-symposium-faces-threats-for-exposing-2020-fraud\/\">Mike Lindell\u2019s Cyber Symposium Faces Threats For Exposing 2020 Fraud<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 JULY 28: Ron Reynolds at a press conference at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial on July 28, 2021 in Washington, D.C.
